Systematic and Regional Approaches To Anatomy
In the systematic approach to the study of anatomy, each system of the body, such as the digestive system, is studied as a thing in itself. The regional approach observes all aspects of a particular region at one time. For example, each muscle, organ, bone, nerve and any other structure in the abdomen is studied together, then the student continues in this fashion with each region. The regional approach better facilitates study with dissection, while the systematic approach is appreciated for its comprehensive look at each system throughout the body.
